Every Day is a Saturday

This is Christmas break. I'm pulling to get hours as a waitress, but they are coming few and far between. While I am grateful to management for doing what they can to slide me back onto the schedule, so far the majority of shifts are in the evening. In the meantime I am blessed with the luxury to sleep in, hang out with Wes and Jeremy, and be a part of the "Christmas Festivities" in our home (namely cleaning and baking. :-)

For me, every day is a Saturday. I hardly know what to do first with all this free time dropped into my lap!

One thing that HAS been nice is the joy of extra reading time (yes, free of school and I still have my nose buried in a book as often as possible! Yes, I suppose that does make me a nerd.)

Devotions today brought some realizations to mind. Not new ones, but definitely needed reminders...

I've had this struggle with fearing what man thinks lately. ALOT.
But even through this Psalm I see the flaw in that, because with the God I serve, there is no fear necessary, except reverence and awe of Who He is.

"For the King trusts in the Lord, and through steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved."
Psalm 21:7

prayer - the replacement for worry
trust - the anectdote for fear

Realize these things. Remember them. May they be at the forefront of my mind and burrowed deep down in my heart, so that I am not consumed with worry and doubt, but with the love of Christ.
